Dermal filler for under eyes and jowls - will this help? (Photos)

From the photos it appears you will have the best outcome from a combination of treatments. Fillers can be used to help improve the undereye area as well as the jawline. Juvederm Volux has been designed specifically for this area. You can also consider adding Morpheus8. These treatments combine RF technology with microneedling to improve overall skin tone and texture. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Regarding lower face laxity and the start of jowls, dermal fillers can indeed be used strategically to improve this. By adding volume to the cheeks, particularly the upper and lateral aspects, a lifting effect can be created that indirectly reduces the appearance of mild jowling. Additionally, filler can be placed along the jawline to provide more definition and support, helping to camouflage the early stages of jowl formation. The goal is to restore lost volume in the areas that provide structural support to the lower face, resulting in a smoother and more defined contour. I hope this helps and best of luck!

When considering dermal fillers for the under-eye area and jowls, there are several factors to keep in mind. Here's a brief overview of how fillers might help and other potential treatment options:

Under-Eye Area
Tear Trough Fillers: Dermal fillers can be effective for improving the appearance of under-eye hollows or tear troughs. They can add volume and smoothness, reducing the appearance of dark circles and tiredness. However, this area is delicate, and treatment should be performed by an experienced practitioner to minimize risks such as swelling or unevenness.
Jowls and Lower Face Laxity
Fillers for Jowls: Fillers can be strategically placed in the jawline and chin to improve the appearance of early jowls and provide a more defined contour. This can create a lifting effect and reduce the appearance of sagging.

Other Options:

Sculptra: This filler stimulates collagen production, providing gradual volume restoration and skin tightening, which may benefit both the under-eye and jowl areas.
Thread Lifts: A minimally invasive option that uses temporary sutures to lift and tighten sagging skin.
Radiofrequency or Ultrasound Treatments: These non-invasive approaches, such as Ultherapy or Thermage, can tighten skin and improve firmness without adding volume.
Microneedling with Radiofrequency: This treatment can improve skin texture and firmness, potentially enhancing the appearance of both the under-eye area and jowls.
Before proceeding, consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can evaluate your specific concerns and provide personalized recommendations. They will ensure that any treatment plan is safe and aligned with your aesthetic goals.
